The jailer had never seen such a big piece of gold in his life. His eyes lit up immediately and with a disgusting smile on his face, he walked outside the prison door, took the gold, put it to his mouth and bit it hard.
It's really gold!
The jailer grinned foolishly. He didn't expect that such a good thing would fall from the sky.
"You're smart!" The jailer nodded at Chu Xuan and held the gold tightly.
A hint of coldness flashed across Chu Xuan's eyes. He smiled and nodded, saying, "It's as I should. This time, I was framed by the shopkeeper Wang in the city. I don't know when I can get out. I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."
The jailer had been guarding the prison for many years and was not surprised by such things. He did not doubt Chu Xuan's words at all and continued, "Manager Wang? That villain who only sees money, it's bad luck for you to provoke him. I heard that the two princes have been very polite to him these days. It will be difficult for you to get out!"
As soon as Chu Xuan came up, he took out a piece of gold and spoke politely. The jailer seemed to have the illusion that he was one of his own and gradually lost his composure in his words.
This is why Chu Xuan chose only this jailer. He is young, inexperienced in worldly affairs, can only see immediate benefits, and has a narrow-minded heart. He is the best candidate to use.
Chu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. He chuckled and said playfully, "When I came here, I heard that Fengxi was in turmoil and the rebels occupied the imperial city, but I never thought that the two princes would be so poor that they have to live in this small world and have to give face to a merchant."
The jailer felt sympathetic upon hearing this and agreed, "Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about it. Forget it, a delivery guy like you wouldn't understand. They want to be tough, but unfortunately they don't have the confidence to be tough. They can't even stand up straight. Who can they be tough with?"
The two princes who lived under other people's roofs had no power and no money. If you gave them a compliment, you could call them princes. If you didn't, they were nothing.
In recent days, most of the soldiers in Fenglan City have been thinking that they are different from the royal army. The royal army is a formal royal army, while they are just ordinary people who have lived in this small world of Fenglan City all their lives. Originally, their lives were peaceful and safe, but they were all shattered by a civil strife.
Little Fenglan was visited by a group of arrogant royal soldiers and two princes who were ignorant of the sufferings of the common people. They suddenly became Fenglan's masters, and they became inferior slaves.
Chu Xuan secretly looked at the jailer, and asked, "I heard that you have three princes, how come I only saw two today? Isn't the other one in Fenglan City?"
The jailer shook his head, curled his lips slightly, and said disdainfully: "The Third Prince is so glorious, how could he be involved with these two? But I have never seen the Third Prince. I heard that they are still looking for him everywhere. It seems that the Third Prince is missing, but... who knows what the real purpose is."
"Oh? What do you mean, little brother? Does the third prince have a bad relationship with the other two princes?" Chu Xuan patiently persuaded the jailer to tell him the information he wanted bit by bit.
The jailer shook his head and approached the cell door cautiously. He whispered to Chu Xuan, "That can't be described simply as 'bad'. You don't know, I heard that His Majesty favored the Third Prince and wanted to make him the Crown Prince a long time ago. But the First and Second Princes had thoughts that they shouldn't have."
The jailer looked around and saw that no one was around, so he felt relieved to tell the secret in his heart: "To be honest, when they came to Fenglan that day, they also secretly escorted several prisoner carts. It is said that they were all ministers who supported the Third Prince to ascend the throne. Now they are all locked up. The eldest prince and his men have been interrogating them all day, trying to force out the whereabouts of the Third Prince."
Chu Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and felt a little relieved. It turned out that this trip was not in vain, and the person she was looking for was really here.
The jailer was still talking there. It seemed that they had been treated as inferior to others for such a long time and were really full of resentment.
Chu Xuan listened to him and when he saw that the man was about to leave, he took out another ingot of gold and handed it to the jailer: "Little brother, I just heard you talk about the third prince's confidants. They are not afraid of power and are loyal. I like to make friends with people like this. I wonder if you can do me a favor and let me meet these ministers in private?"
The jailer had the gold he had just obtained in his arms, and it was not even warm when another piece came to him. He felt like he was dreaming.
He secretly pinched his thigh, it hurt, it was not a dream, but he immediately figured out one thing, why is this person so interested in the third prince? Could he really be a spy?
The jailer was in a dilemma. He felt as if he had just done something wrong or said something serious, and he was afraid that he would get into trouble.
He stared blankly at the gold in Chu Xuan's hand for a while, then took out the key and tremblingly opened the prison door.
Since things have come to this point, he might as well go all the way and run away with the gold.
The jailer brought Chu Xuan to the door of the ministers' cell. He threw down the key and said quickly, "Hurry up, they will come to interrogate these people in half an hour! I can only do this. I know your identity should not be simple. I was dazzled by the gold in my hands and said things I shouldn't have said. I have to go. You can only wish you good luck in here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer left Chu Xuan behind and ran away.
Chu Xuan sneered, thinking that this jailer was not too stupid. At least he knew to take the money and run away to protect himself.
Several ministers were imprisoned in adjacent cells. Their hair was disheveled and their collars were stained with blood. It seemed that they had been tortured a lot in the past few days.
The more this was the case, the more reassured Chu Xuan felt, as this showed how loyal these people were to the Third Prince.
The conversation between Chu Xuan and the jailer startled one of them. He slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"Who are you?"
Chu Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, I was entrusted by Aleshilan to come to Fenglan to look for you adults."
When they heard the name Aleshilan, everyone stood up excitedly and stood at the prison door with excited expressions.
"Did the Third Prince ask you to come?"
Chu Xuan shook his head: "The third prince is missing, and Aleshilan has not found any trace of him yet. I came here specifically to look for you all."
There were five people imprisoned. One of them was tall and obviously a martial artist. He stared at Chu Xuan for a long time, and then his eyes became stern and he said, "I know you. You are the Night King of Tianji! Why are you here?"
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Master, do you recognize me?"
The man said, "Many years ago, I escorted the king to rebel against Tianji. Although you were still young at that time, I was deeply impressed by you."
The jailer had never seen such a big piece of gold in his life. His eyes lit up immediately and with a disgusting smile on his face, he walked outside the prison door, took the gold, put it to his mouth and bit it hard.
It's really gold!
